I started drinking Sam Adams Boston Lager when it was first introduced in 1985. I was living in Boston at the time and I even went to see founder Sam Koch give a presentation about starting the company. This was before the craft beer craze and at the time Sam Adams was by far the best beer on the market. For years it is all I drank.
But over time better beers were introduced everywhere and I drifted away from drinking Sam Adams. I also think quality eroded, as several times I had beers that had bad aftertastes.
Recently Boston Beer announced that they had remastered the beer with a “cleaner and brighter taste” so I picked up a 6 pack to try it again. I have to say it has improved a lot. It is very drinkable and smooth. If you are looking for something fancy or different, then Sam Adams is not for you. What we have is a basic lager that is better than the big name mass market beers and is refreshing by itself or with food.
I can also tell you that the expiration dates on Sam Adams are very real and not a marketing ploy. A few years back I was on Vicodin for four months and did not drink alcohol for fear of mixing. When I was off the medication, I opened a bottle and it was absolutely rancid. I had to pour a few six packs down the sink. My house smelled like a frat party.
